About this app

Parents, we know you are busy and want to save as much time as possible. With the SmartCare parent app, you can sign your child into and out of your child care center with your smartphone. No more hassling with fingerprint readers or pen and paper. Mobile technology means a quicker and more efficient sign-in and sign-out experience for you.

We all know that nothing brightens your day more than a photo or video of your child having fun. Now you can get those photos and videos as they happen, and even share them to your Facebook or Twitter feeds.

Do you wish you could make payments on the go and not have to worry about carrying your purse, wallet, or checkbook? Well, now you can! Pay your tuition with a credit card or have payments automatically debited from your checking account…all through this mobile app.

Truly a mobile solution that works for you.

Ratings and reviews

Very handy for checking in and out and receiving updates during the day as needed. I feel there is capacity to make this great for parents by including portals for more information: a place to post the lunch/snack schedule so I don't have to take a picture of it to refer to everyday, or a parking place for our contracts with the center so we can check back if we have questions, notices of Christmas programs/photo days, etc... A fine app for the use, I just feel like it can be so much more. (unless these are features that our center just doesn't subscribe, then please correct me if they are available).

Update 1/20/2020: still not receiving push notifications. I have emailed and just receive the same response... They are working on it, or that is not a feature (separate feed for kids). Also unable to easily chat with teachers. I do not receive push notifications. I put in a request months ago, but it has not been fixed. Additionally, users are unable to separate feed by kid. Lastly, users are unable to easily chat with teachers. Maybe incorporate a calendar that allows you to click on the day.

I've loved this app and found it very convenient for making daycare payments. However, since the update on 12/18/19, my app only gives me an error message and won't allow me to make payments or communicate with my daycare. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, turned my phone off and on, and still error message. I sent a help ticket via email for support as well. The only response I've received is the canned thank you for your message response.
